Alexander, a New Orleans native who lives in Buford, Ga., narrowed his choices to Auburn and Alabama before committing to LSU after a visit this past weekend when he watched LSU's victory against the Gators. His family moved from New Orleans when he was 3-years old.

Alexander is LSU's 20th commitment for the 2012 class.

"I knew in my heart where I wanted to go, so I wanted to commit," said Alexander, who has numerous relatives in New Orleans. "It was a very hard choice. I went on my official visit this weekend and going in, Auburn was my leader. After the weekend I knew where I belonged. I couldn't see myself at any other college."

Alexander said he first called coaches at Alabama and Auburn to inform them of his decision, then called LSU Coach Les Miles, who reacted jubilantly.

"He screamed for about 32 seconds," Alexander said with a laugh. "He said he couldn't wait for me to get down there. The coaches at auburn and Alabama understood and wished me the best."

Alexander will be arriving early. He said he plans to finish high school early and enroll at LSU in January. He will be joined by high school teammate Reid Ferguson, a deep snapper, who is another lsu commitment.

Alexander is listed as a four-star prospect by scout.com and rivals.com. Scout.com rates him the 158th best player overall and the No. 8 offensive tackle. Rivals.com rates him the No. 10 tackle and the 17th best prospect from Georgia.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: LSU punter Brad Wing's nullified 52-yard touchdown run in LSU's win against Florida has become a hot topic nationally because it was the first time the rule was enforced.

The NCAA made the rule official in April, and it states that if a player taunts the opponent before crossing the goal line, the score would be taken away and a 15-yard penalty would be assessed from the spot of the foul.

Before the rule was implemented, it was considered a dead-ball foul, and the penalty was assessed on the ensuing kickoff.

As Wing neared the goal line, he held out his arms in a gesture that officials deemed as taunting.

As a punter, Wing found it difficult not to gloat on the play.

"It was hard at the time to just control myself," he said. "The emotions got the better of me."

DAY JOB: For the first time since 1935, LSU will not be playing a Southeastern Conference home game at night this season after it was announced the Auburn game on Oct. 22 would be played at 2:30 p.m.

LSU has its hands tied behind its backs by CBS, as the network can pick and choose which game to put in which time slot based on its ratings potential.

By virtue of its contract with the SEC, the network can pick which games to televise in the 2:30 or 7 p.m. time slots.

LSU fans have taken their frustration out on the network through social media. Fans created a facebook page titled, "LSU vs. CBS."

The, "about" section of the page reads: "Tell CBS to give us our Saturday night games in Tiger Stadium back!"

LSU is 220-60-4 all-time in night games at home and 30-2 in night games at home under Miles. The Tigers' record in day games at home is 26-25-3 all-time, and 10-5 under Miles.

While fans may argue to the contrary, senior safety Brandon Taylor doesn't feel the Tigers lose anything by playing in the afternoon.

"We're good as long as we're out there playing," Taylor said. "We keep ourselves amped up."

INJURY REPORT: LSU senior center P.J. Lonergan left the Florida game and didn't return after suffering an ankle sprain on running back Spencer Ware's touchdown run in the second quarter.

Miles said even though Lonergan wasn't able to practice Monday, he should be healthy enough to play at Tennessee on Saturday.

BLACKWELL HONORED: LSU senior guard Will Blackwell was chosen the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week for his efforts against Florida.
